I am running RHEL6 and I am sshing into a linux server. Every time I open gvim or emacs, I get this error
$ gvim Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module": libpk-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The error is harmless first couple of times but the third or fourth time, the computer screen freezes. I can move my mouse, but that’s it. Nothing works and I have to restart again.
I have seen many solutions online which suggest installing gtk3 on my machine. I am running RHEL6 so that doesn’t help me, as I would have to do a manual install and it is really hard to maintain it on the machine. I have also tried disabling libpk-gtk-module by using gconf-setting, but it still freezes. How can I stop my computer screen from freezing. I don’t care about the error much. It just shows the font wrong in the x-session.
Edit1: I checked with the gnome-terminal and then ssh to the server, it doesn’t hang the screen. It only happens with putty.
